my invention isto produce a machineby which the coils forming the mattress may be easily and rapidly made, and guided to and inten locked or intermeshed with the coils previously made and constituting the partially-conipleted mattress.

I have illustrated my invention by the draw- .ings accompanying this specilication, and

forming a part hereof, in which- Figure 1 represents a plan View of the machine embodying my invention, and showing a portion of or a section of an incomplete partially-woven wire mattress. Fig. 2 is an elevation of a portion of the machine, indicated by lines 2 2 on Fig. 1. Fig. 8 is a cross-see? tion on line 3 3 of Fig. 2. Fig. 4 is a crossseetion on line -1 4 ofFig. 2. Fig. 5 is a crosssecti'on on line 5 of Fig. 1. Fig. 6 is a crosssection on line 6 6 ofFig. 5. Fig. 7 is a crosssection on line 7 of Fig. l. Fig. 8 is a crosssection on line 8 of Fig. 7.

Like letters refer to like parts throughout the several views. y

X represents a section of a partially-woven mattress.

Y is the base-plate of my machine.

A A and B B are wires formed and shaped by the machine embodying my invention into coils interlocking and constituting the strands of mattress X. i

Z Z, Fig. 5, are outlines of pulleys, between the peripheries of which wires A A and B B pass, and by which they are forced into and through my machine.

D D are plates having grooves d d therein. Plate D is secured to base Y, and plate D is adj ustably secured to or over plate D by screws d d. Wires A A and B B pass through grooves cl cl as they are forced into the machine by rollers or pulleys Z Z.

E is a plate having grooves c e thereon, through which wires A A and B B pass immediately aftervleaving grooves d d.

E is a plate adj uslahly surn'iounting plate E.

F is a spindle or rod enlarged at one end, illustrated in Fig. 8, and having grooves fj" passing diagonally around the enlarged end thereofand roll G placed therein.

f is an adjustable screw in rod F.

F Fl are adjustable clamps. Rod or spindle F is held in properl position by clamps F F", screw f, and set-screws L L,hereinafter described.

G is a roll placed in the enlarged hollow end of rod or spindle F, Fig. S.

H is a snb-base-plate secured to base Y.

K is a frame secured to base-plate Y.

L L are setscrews in frame K, adjustably pressing against rod F.

M is a rod, also secured in frame K, and having adj ustabl y placed thereon fingers N N, fitting into groove a ou rod F.

F is stationary and does not revolve. It may be adjusted to any desired position by screw f', clamps F and F, and set-screws L, and is retained in such position thereby, as heretofore stated.

rlhe manner of operation of my improved machine is as follows: Strands of wire A A and B B are forced into grooves d d by pulley or rollers Z Z through grooves c e in plate E, and into groovesff on rod or spindle F, and thence around said rod F. A spiral coil is thus made of each of wires A A and B B, as is illustrated in Fig. l. Plate E is adjusted to suitably press upon wires A A and B B as they pass through grooves c e. Roller G may turn with the wire thus passing around spindie or rod F in the grooves placed therein, and the sole purpose of roller G is to reduce the friction in said wires. Fingers N N are adjusted in such a manner as to properly retard coil B B, or advance coil A A, to cause said spiral coils to interlock as they move forward, in the manner illustrated in Fig. l. .Coil A A, interlocking with section X X of the partially-completed mattress, as the said coil moves forward, forms a portion of said Inattress, and coil BB, interlocking, as described,

with coil A A, also forms a portion of said mattress. A double strand of said mattress X X is thus woven by my improved machine. Having thus described my invention,what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, 1s-

1. In a machine for manufacturing wire mattresses, the combination of a grooved guidev or guides, through which the wire forming the mattress may be forced into the said machine, a fixed and stationary spindle or rod, having diagonal grooves at one end thereof, and fingers for separating the coils formed on said spindle at the other end thereof, all substantially as described, and for the purpose set forth.

2. In a machine for manufacturing wire mattresses, the combination of a grooved guide or guides, through which the wire forming the coils of said mattress may be forced into said machine, a fixed stationary spindle or rod having diagonal grooves at one end thereof, a roll placed within said spindle and underneath said diagonal grooves, and ngers for separat ing the coils formed at said spindle at the other end thereof', all substantially as described,and for ythe purpose set forth. I

3. In a machine for manufacturing wire mattresses, the combination of the adjustable grooved guide D D', adjustable plate E', diagonally-grooved stationary spindle F, and ngers N N, all substantially as described, and for the purpose set forth.

4. In a machine for the manufacture of wire mattresses, the combination of adj ustable groovedv guide D D', adjustable plate E', diagonally-grooved stationary spindle F, roll G in said spindle underneath said diagonal'grooves, and adjustable fingers N N, all substantially as described, and for the purpose set forth.

5. In a machine for manufacturing wire mattresses, the combination of the adjustable guide D D', having grooves d d therein, plate E,with grooves therein, with adjustable plate E placed thereon, stationary spindle F, with diagonal groovesff around the same at one end thereof,and roll G,plaeed within said spindle and underneath said diagonal grooves ff', and adj ustable fingers N N and adj listingscrewf, all substantially as described,and for the purpose set forth.
